What's the disagreement for the 50k claim?

https://www.theguardian.com/society...eaths-in-england-and-wales-highest-since-1976

"There were 50,100 excess deaths in England and Wales last winter, when there was a prolonged spell of extreme cold, making it the highest number since 1976, figures have shown. The Office for National Statistics said flu and the ineffectiveness of the flu vaccine were key reasons for the rise of excess winter deaths in 2017-18."

How long did it take you to dig that out?

Less than a minute, I bet.

If you read the entire article, there is a link to where you can find the official stats.

What people also forget is that during the previous Winter, deaths from cold rose 140% in the UK. That number alone eclipses worldwide deaths from covid-19. And then the number rose yet again, the following year.

I find it incredible that some people seek to deny these stats, and I have to assume that it's because they do not want to face the fact that our Government and the media is purposely painting a false and bleak picture of this virus. I think they are doing it to adjust the world economy.
 
I'm sorry, but they did. You really do not help people by denying it.

Go and find the official stats for yourself.

I can understand why you don't want to believe it, because it will force you to face the fact that this Government is ****ing with you and everyone.

There are plenty of headlines from around that time. Please do not force me to embarrass you by digging them out. Go and find them for yourself, and pm me your apology.




The best deterrent is your body's own immune system. Vaccines have the effect of weakening our immune systems.

I don't want that. I would rather take my chances with Mother Nature. It's what Mankind has been doing for millennia, and it's got us this far. I don't want Bill Gates and the World Health Authority (which is an organization backed by the big pharmaceutical companies and other vested interests) ****ing with the human immunity system.
So you’re an anti vaxxer as well?

Oh ffs, get in the ****ing bin.
 
Simple. The figure doesn’t measure people who ‘died from the cold’ it measures the difference between the number of deaths in the 3 months prior and the 3 months post. The causes of death are anything from falling down the stairs to dementia to bad aids ffs.

Using that figure as some kind of yardstick for the effect of COVID-19 is bollocks basically.

Sorry, but you are completely wrong.

Go and read the official stats. Those numbers are presented after the figures were adjusted for all kinds of things.

The figures were adjusted for ‘all kinds of things’?

Go on then....name them.

I’ll wait.

The threat is real, because of the potential to overwhelm the NHS as Tobes days.

The reason the media and government are so afraid is because their money and power provides almost zero protection from it.

Pretty much. It's also a pointless exercise. I notice in the Guardian piece, no mention of Guardian pushed renewable driving up energy prices which is proven to be killing more and more people in winter over time. Old people cannot afford to keep the heating on Guardian says "Doctors and groups representing older people said too little was being done to keep older people warm"." << with a straight face <doh>

COVID19 s effect will have to be something we have many years of data for to tease out a signal in the numbers to provide seasonal estimates if it keeps going round in winter
 
I have done.

Name the adjustments you’re referring to?

I’ll wait.


No, I won't.

You clearly haven't read the official reporting on this issue, otherwise you wouldn't be acting like such an idiot.

Even running with your argument (whatever it is), and assuming that 50,100 deaths in the UK was not due solely to the cold (which they were, because they are 50,100 deaths on top of all the deaths in the UK normally expected during that time), can you not see how 50,100 (or 175,000, whatever the total number of deaths were) in the UK alone is a ****ing sight more than 10,000 deaths worldwide?

Crappy argument. There's pleny of ways to financially support old people's fuel bills if the government had any desire to do so. Supporting the oil oligarchs (whose entire industry is a scam exposed in recent weeks) is not the only solution, or even a good one.

Mate if you were to set foot anywhere in a hospital right now you wouldn't be calling the bleak picture false.

The reason why the NHS will be overwhelmed is not down to this virus - which is nothing more than a new strain of flu from which 99.9% of people will recover from without any treatment whatsoever - but due to the incompetence of our Government (assuming you don't subscribe to the view that it's been orchestrated) and the negligent over sensationalism of our irresponsible media, mixed with the complete and utter ****wittedness of the masses.

Trust you to bring some conspiracy theory whataboutism.

"scam". Our whole civilization runs on oil, you are mentally unwell. Go away. How far do you think wind and solar would go with this pandemic without oil?
You'd be one of the first people to die, eaten by an actual male <laugh>

and "government will fix all" too. When did you become such a loony lefty?

Libby, my eldest had open heart surgery when he was ten years old. He was on the kids cardiac ward in Southampton for three months. I visited him extensively over that period of time. I could tell you stories that would chill your bones and cause you to lose faith in any kind of loving God.

Hospitals are not good places to be at the best of times.
